| Diary of Death by Alexis Child In dimly lit fog-blanketed streets A devil in disguise by shadow creeps One fearful night Surrounded by the social blight The murderous monster strikes Wielding surgical knives Under the full moon's frosty glow His brutal blood lust grows Another victim's butchered like swine Not just any old East End crime One more lady of the night disappears London is gripped with frenzied fear Detectives puzzle over half-clues Not to blame are the Jews Unanswered questions No murder weapons Such outrageous speculations A butcher from another nation Taunting letters mock police The murderous rampage ceased No sinister confession uttered Murderer's body undiscovered Forever justice is starved Chilling reminders carved In Whitechapel's heart of infamy A diary of death incomplete |
